a/n: I'm back with a new Seto/Anzu fic! I know I'm neglecting Claims of Innocence but I had a stroke of brilliance and I just had to write it. Each chapter is going to be seen through either Seto's or Anzu's point of view. The parts written in italics are obviously flashbacks and it is done in first narration, so it's done without anyone's point of view except the readers. I'm glad you guys like it so far.

A special thank you goes outto my (sort of) beta TwlightEyes8120. Thank you so much for fixing up this chapter because we all know ( or at least some people know) that after working 14-17 hours and then going to school, we all lose a little bit of our minds and thus cannot spell correctly!

Chapter 2: Missing

"Beg for mercy," the venom in his voice made her cringe and cower in fear. He was capable of anything right now. Her fate was in his hands.

"Please," her voice was weak and small from the past couple days of mistreatments.

"Please, no more." The thunder outside added more dramatics to his pause. The shadows of the dark skies hid his upper face. The only thing she could clearly see was that sinister smirk.

"No," his arm raised and she prepared herself for another hour of torment.

I think the people in the next building heard my screaming. Every night it was a different torture. My dreams seem to tease me. I was fine up until I saw him. For some reason I had forgot all about the torment. I lived life like a normal teenager should. I loved to smile and laugh like an ordinary person would. Now all I do is think all the time.

Repression is a funny thing. You push it deep down into your subconscious and then one day you step into a restaurant, and a person invokes those memories. They're not all complete but I get the gist of it. I must have been tortured for a couple of months from what I remember. MY only question is why don't my friends ask me about it? I must have been gone for that time, so why don't my friends wonder about my abduction? About where I had disappeared to for a couple of months? I guess I don't like confrontation so I don't ask. Maybe they're trying to give me time before I talk about it. Maybe they know I forgot and don't want me to remember.

But I did remember-that man helped me. From the moment I saw him I recalled him holding a gun. I never even knew that someone could have such a vivid memory of something they didn't even knew happened in the first place. At first it scared me, but then I realized he was a waiter who looked like he could do no wrong. In fact, he kind of looked lost. Like he was waiting for someone to come and just take him away from that place.

The question of why was he in my memory kept nagging me, as my friends talked with each other. That's when I decided to go up to him and see for myself. When I did, I lost all my nerve. What kind of fool goes up to someone, when you might have a suspicion about them? Towards the end of the day I found out that he doesn't remember who he is either. I took that as an advantage--especially now.

He has haunted me, and now I am able to do the same to him. I'll hold myself back until the day I'm ready to strike. Until I'm ready for my answers and my revenge. Successfully, he has forgotten his past. Successfully, I have remembered mine. Pegasus, my mentor and savior, told me not to utter a word about my past to anyone. He believes that if anyone else knew about what I was trying to do, then someone would interfere with my mission.

"Take back what is yours," he stood over her like an angry parent. He was trying to coax her, make her believe his words. All in all she did. She had no other explanation for how she felt towards the waiter. Having no other place to move back towards, she cowered against the wall.

"I can't," she shook her head trying to get his voice out of her head. Trying to tone down his anger, he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him, so that she could see the trust in his purple eyes.

"Don't you trust me?" He hissed. Nodding her head, she whimpered and a tear escaped her fearful eyes.

"I do."

"You have to be strong."

"I know."

"You will be strong."

"I will."

"You will kill Seto Kaiba." The way it was said was so casual, like he was talking about going to the beach. "He killed your lover."

Looking up at him, her eyes narrowed with determination. Her main memory consisted of Seto Kaiba with a gun. The stench of gun powder permeated the air, the gun had just been fired. After recalling that memory, she felt like her heart had been broken in two. Another image, another memory entered her mind. One of a man falling, obscured by shadows who cried out in pain. His back was to Anzu, as she stepped closer to the man. She knew she loved him because of how her pounding heart and the butterflies in her stomach. When the man heard her approach, he looked up. The reflection of his eyes showed her troubled face. All she could see were a pair of blue eyes.

"Is that why I feel so sad when I see that man?" Her innocence almost made him laugh.

She thought she knew what was really going on. He held her in his hands. He controlled the situation and in this situation, he played with her heart in order to get what he always wanted.

"Yes my dear Anzu. Seto Kaiba killed him, in cold blood. He tried to kill you as well but.." His hand cupped her cheek in a fatherly manner. "…you were too smart for him. He hates you. He wants you dead." Blue eyes widened at the remark.

"I thought he knew nothing. Will he remember?" Pegasus knew she was getting scared. After all, she's never done this before, past or present. "Will he remember me?"

"No, he won't. But you do have to get to him, before he does remember. There is the slimmest chance that he could, considering he could be seeing you around more often. Your presence might trigger some memories. It's possible, but improbable-so no worries." Patting the top of her head, she closed her eyes at his gentle, fatherly touch.

"Thank you so much." Throwing her arms around him, she held back a sob. She didn't know what she would do if he wasn't with her. If he didn't help her through this. "You won't be helping me kill him, will you?"

"No. This is something you have to do. I can't avenge your lover for you. This is your task. Your mission."

A mission I almost hate. After I met Seto Kaiba I went back home in a daze. His eyes reminded me of someone and as much as I wanted, I couldn't forget it. I knew I loved those eyes. Those were the color of something I once loved and lost. I asked Pegasus about it. I asked him if I had once had someone in my past that I cared about a lot. Not understanding the question, he thought I was talking about a paternal relationship. When I finally told him about the waiter I met he stood before me in shock. A smile then appeared on his face and it was obvious that he was trying to hide it.

That's when he told me what happened.

I did have a loved one. From what he told me, I would do anything for him.

…I believe it.

Even though I can't remember this person, something within my heart tells me that I would do anything and everything for this person. This feeling, without a doubt, is love. I felt it even though I had no recollection of the person. It scared me, it fueled me to learn more about Seto Kaiba. Why did he kill him I ask continuously. Why him and not me?

Pegasus doesn't tell me. He thinks it's better to not ask questions when the answers would just hurt me. All he can say is that Seto reminds me of my past, this is why I have that loving feeling.

He thinks it's a blessing that I forgot.

Something tells me that it is a curse.

A part of myself asks why am I doing this? Why did I agree to do this? When I see my target these questions arise. I don't tell Pegasus this because I'm afraid he might think I'm weak. From what I've always remembered, he has always seen me as strong. I don't know if I could act like a cheerful girl who wants to befriend him. I'm afraid something about my actions might give away my real intentions. I'm afraid he could see the look in my eyes when my face says I want to be friends when really I'm thinking about how to kill him off.

I blindly listen to Pegasus when I don't have any cold hard facts of the things he tells me. I'm a puppet who is driven by the strings of revenge. Yet I follow that feeling of revenge. I let it consume me, I let it become a part of me. This feeling that so many people fight is the only feeling I can feel. I've lost the fight. My loss of memory binds me to this feeling.

I have no other choice.

I have to pretend to know nothing just like him. I have to pretend to be his friend. I have to get close to the enemy. When I do..

….I have to kill him. I have to avenge my lover."

Are you guys getting it so far? I hope so! It's basically Seto lost his memory and Anzu did as well. The only thing is that Anzu remembers some of it which causes her to go after Seto. That is all I'm going to give you for now because this story is very complicated with a lot of twists and turns. So you do have to pay special attention to certain things and memories. To some the plot might seem obvious, but let me just tell you right now that you are wrong.. So go ahead.. Try and guess the full plot of this story.. I dare you ..
